Career

edit

Born in San Adrián, Navarre,[1] Sáenz represented CD San Adrián, CD Falcesino, Brooke House Football Academy and CD Calahorra as a youth.[2] After making his senior debut with the reserves in Tercera División in 2019, he made his first team debut on 28 May 2022, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 Primera División RFEF home loss to CF Talavera de la Reina.[3]

On 25 June 2022, Sáenz was loaned to Segunda Federación side CD Alfaro for the season.[4] The following 5 January, after being rarely used, he was recalled by his parent club and permanently assigned to the main squad.[5]

On 31 July 2023, after suffering relegation with Calahorra, Sáenz signed for Granada CF and was assigned to the B-team also in the third division.[6] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 24 May of the following year, replacing Ricard Sánchez in a 7–0 away loss to Girona FC.[7]
